Today we drove up to the Three Peaks park. The entrance was at an altitude of about 1,000 meters, and the highest peak stood at 2,366 meters. The birds seemed accustomed to the mist; eventually, there was some activity. However, we were walking mostly in the fog, which was clearly visible in the photos. Fortunately, you can use a computer to make the mist dissipate a little.
